Have you noticed that this season of Making the Band is following the EXACT same pattern as last season??? In both seasons, we started off with a confrontation between Diddy and Orangebrey over Orange's "problem child" behavior. And then there was a lot of bitchassness, and it was revealed that Brian had anger management issues. In this episode, we discover that his anger still rages, and he's not really good at, well, anything.
We open the show again to a very excited Diddy. He actually explodes into fireworks and then rematerializes, just as excited as ever. It's funny when he combusts because it's red and gold fireworks. So it looks like sparkles mixed with blood and guts. Either that or I am just far too imaginative. But it really solidified my irrational fears of spontaneous combustion.
Today is the big day for Brillo Klang because his album, "Like a Rolling Stone," is finally in stores. Very clever title, Brillo. You'll pick up business from confused customers who are in the market for music by the Rolling Stones. Way to prey on absent-mindedness and confusion. Diddy orders us to buy this and then reminds us one more time how hard it is to prepare for tour as though we've forgotten all about the trials and tribulations of last week. Oh wait. We have.
Day26 is headed to Central Park to work with their vocal coach, Ankh Ra, who will help them build vocal stamina. I don't understand if "Ankh" is his first name and "Ra" is his last name or if it's all just one first name kinda like Mary Jane. But everyone always says his name really fast and slurred together like "Ankhra." Kinda sounds like Mothra. Well anyway. If anyone understands this one or two word first name, then give me a call.
Ankh Ra greets the guys and then takes off his track jacket, revealing a shirt that says, "Ankh Ra: The Vocal Guru." HAHHAHAHA Really? For whatever reason Ankh Ra has the guys run up some stairs Rocky-style and then do jumping jacks. This is resembling less like a vocal lesson and more like the Wednesday morning aerobics class for seniors that I attended all summer at a health club. (Yes, I said seniors. And, no, don't ask.) Then they do weird little crunch thingies and instead of counting with numbers, they count them off by saying "Wee Ahhh" over and over again. If this tells me anything, it's that the boys can't even count. They never cease to amaze.
The problem with the guys doing all these crazy exercises in Central Park is that it's a very public and very crowded space, and they can't stay unnoticed for long because as we know, they have MANY ADORING FANS who like totally aren't paid or ANYTHING LIKE THAT. A growing audience gathers to watch and take pictures. Ankh tells the guys to say hi to the fans, so they approach the gathering and then get totally mobbed. It's funny because it starts with a group of girls hugging one of the guys and then the mob starts to move, collecting more of the guys in it like a giant snowballing mass of humans. One girl gets so excited that she slams Big Mike in the knee, reaggravating an old injury. He stumbles off to the side, and don't worry, we'll hear more about this later.

Great recap as always!
I had never noticed how bored the guys always looked until I started reading your recaps, and are you correct! Will and Big Mike seem to be the worst offenders. It's really odd.
